I wouldn't say so. A low-volume product takes engineering costs into the price point, and while engineering might have been reasonably cheap here, I doubt it was free. Replacement tips are quite cheap as well ($6).

It's marketed as a premium tool and selling at a low volume. I don't know how quality it actually is, and I probably wouldn't buy one, but if I were in the market for a capacitive stylus, I wouldn't balk at $25. Pogo styluses (are crap) sit between $10 and $20. And they're useless for writing due to being squishy.
